There was a play where Peppers drove Adams back 10 yards with ease 2 weeks ago. That one play concerned me more about Adams than any of the times he was off balance, flat footed, or slow. He's also just not very strong. I wonder if he lost some strength when he got stabbed? But right now I just don't see anything in his game that can be salvaged long term. It's like he's the Ziggy Hood of our offense.

Dude did 19 reps on the bench press at the combine. We just drafted a SAFETY who did 28. I know it is just weights but NINETEEN? Not impressive.

I HOPE he has not LOST strength.

Bench Press is a really weird gauge for some of these big guys, because their arms are so long, and Bench pressing is much harder the taller you are, because different muscles apply at different points. (only about the first 6" of a bench press are on your chest muscles, then its triceps)

For instance, the LT that the Ravens got (which is a really ****ing good LT) only put up 23 on the bench.

As you stated with Shamarko, Troy put up 31 on the bench.

With some of these guys its really, really wierd.

That Said, I think Adams needs to be stronger. Gonna be a real test to his character, if he can take this benching, and spend the time he is benched in the weight room and the film room honing his craft.

Was he really though flip? I don't know; I'm asking. He sounds pretty bad, and lets be honest--he is what he is. I do give credence to the Haley connection, with Haley (knowing his own job is on the line) having a strong sense of urgency at this point... I can't imagine him signing off on bringing in some dead weight (assuming worst-case scenario with Brown).
